2008 OLB former UG player released

[volman dan]

Georgia inside linebacker Marcus Dowtin has played his final game for the Bulldogs.

Dowtin, a junior from Upper Marlboro, Md., has been granted an unconditional release from his scholarship to transfer to another school, UGA said Tuesday without further comment.

Reports surfaced last week that Dowtin had faced a second-degree assault charge stemming from a Maryland bar fight last May. The case was resolved in December, but Georgia coach Mark Richt did not learn of the incident until last week. (See this AJC story for more details on the case.)

Dowtin, who appeared in 11 games and started two this past season, didn’t play in the Liberty Bowl on Dec. 31 because of what was described a coach’s decision unrelated to the Maryland matter. He was fourth on the Georgia team in tackles for the season with 57.

We could use some more linebackers.
Maybe worth giving him a shot with a zero tolerance policy?

Too much baggage:

 

[eyebleedorange]

Unconditional means he could come to a rival SEC school???

If I'm Dooley I only give him a shot after talking to Richt to get the low-down.

Means GA is willing to let anybody take him, sounds like trouble...

I think he's on the line with Houston Nutt's school of trouble making transfers

You guys don't want this kid. He had some issues back in his home state about a year ago and didn't inform any of our coaches. They guy is also very uncoachable and became a cancer in our locker room. He was given 2 otions, either transfer or be suspended indefinitely.
